because big government is not the answer

Well, it’s doubtful anyone’s surprised. And yeeees, this certain blogger did like what Trump was offering, even whilst knowing most conservative bloggers (libertarian here) didn’t want a bar of him. A lot of it was that breath of fresh air factor he brought to the debate. And I still think no other Republican that has been offered up will be capable of beating Obama.

Happy to be proved wrong, but there you go.

And I still think a successful businessperson would be ideal for the US’ top job, especially considering the deficit and debt. So I guess that leaves me favouring Romney, however, lately, one’s ear hasn’t been kept that close to the political – let alone the US political – ground.

Who’s been looking good lately, folks, and why?

PS Thanks for all the email updates JM even though there wasn’t any time to use them.

Can he win? Who knows. One thing’s for sure; if Barack Obama makes this into another election that places personality over substance, celebrity over accomplishments, I can see only one outcome…Mr. President, you’re fired.

Steven also notes in the link that Obama was elected on style, not substance. Agreed.

PS

Thanks again, JM. Really. I kinda feel like Elton John. Not in a gay way (not that there’s anything wrong with that), but in the sense Elton gets all his lyrics sent to him by that bloke, and then “just” puts them to music. I finish all my classes for the day, am finally able to get to a computer, and there’s all the links you could possibly need, plus more, ready there waiting in the inbox.

Funny. So here we have an Australian bloke in South Korea and a Canadian bloke – who’ve never met – busy every day trying to persuade Americans who to vote for in their election.

Cheers.

UPDATE

In response to CNN/ Opinion Research Poll released Tuesday that had Trump and former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee tied for first place, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour said voters simply knew Trump’s name.

“I wouldn’t read too much into that, in all candor,” Barbour told New Hampshire’s WKXL Radio on Tuesday. “For some voters, it may have just been that pure and simple: I’ve heard of Donald Trump, nobody else I’ve heard of I want to be for, so I’ll just park my vote for this little poll with Donald Trump.”

“I think they know the other contenders,” Trump said, adding that former governors Mitt Romney of Massachusetts and Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota were fairly recognizable at this point. “I have the highest in terms of name recognition.”

Now that Trump is again threatening to run for president–and has, for the first time, gained some political traction thanks to his embrace of the “birther” movement–The Smoking Gun has examined how the 64-year-old developer has spent some of that massive fortune. Specifically, Trump’s philanthropy over the past 20 years, which has been channeled through the Donald J. Trump Foundation.

So what? What liberals will never understand is that a person has a right to use his or her money however he or she sees fit. It’s Trump’s money, he can do whatever the frig he likes with it. Liberals: always wanting to take your hard-earned money because they think they know better what to do with it.
